How (and why) Troop 9212 focuses on adventure over advancement From the November-December 2014 issue of Scouting magazineQ.You also have quite a few leaders with specialized training in activities like scuba diving, climbing and more. Why?
A. We’ve invested a lot of time in the personal growth and training of the adults, which in turn opens up the adventure and growth for the youth. The youth are supposed to be able to decide which activities they want to do, but even when they decide, you have to have qualified supervision. I don’t ever want the patrol leaders’ council to worry about what adventures they can and cannot plan.
